Explanation 

For  seven  years  the  Library  has  conducted  a  number  of 
home  Hbraries  and  reading  clubs  among  children  in  the  city 
who  live  at  too  great  distance  from  the  Library  buildings  to 
make  use  easily  of  their  children's  rooms.  Many  of  these 
children  are  of  foreign  parentage,  the  parents  of  some  speak- 
ing no  English,  and  a  great  variety  of  nationality  and  race  is 
represented — English,  Scotch,  Irish,  Welsh,  Hungarian,  Ital- 
ian, Bohemian,  German,  Swedish,  French,  Dutch,  Hebrew 
(German,  Russian,  Polish),  Slav  and  Negro. 

A  home  library  consists  of  a  small  case  of  books  placed  in 
a  child's  home.  At  a  stated  time  each  week  ten  or  twelve 
children  of  the  neighborhood  meet  about  the  bookcase,  and  a 
visitor  from  the  Library  gives  out  the  books,  reads  aloud  or 
tells  stories,  and  in  various  ways  makes  the  "library  hour"  pass 
pleasantly  with  profit  to  the  children.  The  home  library 
groups  consist  chiefly  of  younger  children  and  girls,  but  the 
reading  clubs,  which  do  not  meet  in  homes  but  in  school 
rooms  or  special  club  rooms,  are  composed  principally  of  older 
boys.  A  member  of  the  library  staff  has  the  general  direction 
of  the  work,  but  most  of  the  visitors  who  have  charge  of  the 
groups  and  clubs  are  not  members  of  the  library  staff,  but  give 
their  services  to  it  for  this  work.  It  is  to  meet  the  special 
needs  of  these  volunteer  visitors,  who  have  little  time  to  read 
the  children's  books,  that  this  catalogue  has  been  compiled. 

The  books  in  this  collection  have  been  selected  carefully 
for  the  special  work  and  not  with  the  idea  of  making  an  ideal 
selection  of  children's  books  for  general  use.  Most  of  the 
children  who  become  members  of  the  home  librar}^  groups 
and  reading  clubs  have  read  little  and  therefore  are  not  able 
to  comprehend  and  enjoy  many  of  the  best  books  for  children. 
Experience  has  taught  us  that  if  we  wish  these  children  to 
read  at  all,  we  must  begin  by  giving  them  the  classic  myths 
and  folklore  retold  in  a  simple  way  or  popular  modern  books 
full  of  action  and  adventure,  and  then  lead  them  gradually 
to  more  solid  reading.  Therefore,  the  greater  number  of 
the  books  listed  in  this  catalogue  are  popular  in  character, 


m^  ithje.'eritries  are  grouped  under  headings  of  interest  to  boys 
and  girls.  Since  so  many  of  the  children  are  of  foreign 
parentage,  there  is  a  preponderance  of  books  on  American 
history  and  stories  of  American  life.  The  popular  lists  are 
supplemented  by  special  lists  of  "classic  and  standard  stories," 
which  include  mythology,  folklore,  etc.  as  well  as  fiction. 
The  books  in  these  lists  are  not  generally  popular  with  the 
children  in  the  home  library  groups  and  reading  clubs,  and 
therefore  few  duplicate  copies  are  purchased,  though  the 
popular  books  are  duplicated  freely,  especially  those  for  the 
younger  children.  Careful  choice  is  made  of  editions,  as  we 
believe  in  the  elevating  influence  of  a  book  that  is  beautiful  in 
binding,  illustrations  and  general  appearance. 

There  is  in  preparation  as  a  supplement  to  this  catalogue 
a  "visitors'  handbook,"  containing  suggestions  for  organizing 
and  conducting  home  libraries  and  reading  clubs.  It  will  also 
contain  lists  of  stories  to  tell,  lists  of  books  and  chapters  of 
books  to  read  aloud,  and  lists  of  books  for  the  use  of  mothers 
and  home  library  visitors.
